Join us on this week’s episode of the Special Chronicles Podcast as we conclude National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) with a CNA Chill & Chat with Daniel Smrokowski, a Special Olympics athlete and Sargent Shriver International Global Messenger. Daniel is  an award-winning and veteran podcaster, columnist, and an acclaimed advocate who tells disability stories on his groundbreaking, global platform Special Chronicles.  You may recall that Daniel previously recorded a short video and participated in a webinar with CNA’s Sonia Dziubek, AVP, Procurement Operations & Innovation. 

Daniel will talk about disability inclusion and equity, including his work with Special Olympics, his job as a Service Ambassador with United Airlines, and his participation in Bridge, United’s business resource group, which connects people of all abilities. 

AVID’s Chill & Chat is a relaxed format which allows their members to be active participants in the conversation. We will start with a brief discussion to introduce Daniel, and will then provide time for their members to ask Daniel questions.
